ColonelPanic001 | Came in this morning, put laptop on dock, external monitors no longer get detected | 12:50 |
---|---|---|
ColonelPanic001 | all I've done recently is rotate the left monitor | 12:50 |
rick_h | oops | 12:50 |
ColonelPanic001 | so my question is how fast does a car have to be going to ensure death when I jump in front of it? | 12:50 |
ColonelPanic001 | I can't use just one monitor like a barbarian | 12:50 |
ColonelPanic001 | I plugged an HDMI monitor in directly to the laptop, works fine | 12:51 |
cmaloney | Good morning | 12:51 |
_stink_ | did you reboot | 13:02 |
* _stink_ ducks | 13:02 | |
ColonelPanic001 | _stink_: several times | 13:07 |
ColonelPanic001 | on the bright side, just was reminded I have xpilot installed | 13:09 |
jrwren | linux is for servers. :p | 13:26 |
* jrwren ducks. | 13:26 | |
dzho | servers are for the internet | 13:48 |
dzho | the internet is for porn | 13:48 |
dzho | therefor linux is for porn | 13:48 |
dzho | thank you for coming to my ted talk | 13:48 |
ColonelPanic001 | thanks now I'm fired | 14:06 |
ColonelPanic001 | I nwo have three monitors on another dock, but my computer thinks there's four. There are not. | 14:07 |
ColonelPanic001 | One of our interns has declared it the dead spirit of a destroyed monitor of the past | 14:07 |
_stink_ | ColonelPanic001++ | 14:24 |
jrwren | https://streaming.media.ccc.de/asg2019/relive/164 systemd-homed... because... systemd all the things. who needs /etc/passwd. LUL | 14:55 |
jrwren | very cool. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/175/wikipedia_s_javascript_initialisation_on_a_budget/ | 15:07 |
cmaloney | Why the fuck are they screwing with home directories? | 15:14 |
cmaloney | JFC stop making Systemd an OS | 15:14 |
jrwren | I knew you'd love it cmaloney | 15:20 |
jrwren | after DNS/resolver, I couldn't guess what systemd would do next, and I didn't. | 15:20 |
jrwren | So what is next after this? I still can't imagine. | 15:20 |
cmaloney | I mean, if there was actual pain in there then I'd totally get it. Change it up. | 15:20 |
cmaloney | But now it's just feature creep | 15:20 |
jrwren | autofs maybe? | 15:20 |
jrwren | it must be an actual pain for someone. | 15:20 |
cmaloney | Who? People who hate knowing what is in their directory? | 15:21 |
jrwren | rw /etc. I think the goal is to run with ro /etc | 15:21 |
cmaloney | I think the goal is to remake the registry, poorly | 15:24 |
cmaloney | That was one thing that I didn't like about commercial UNIX was having to use special commands to admin things | 15:25 |
cmaloney | and we're re-making those mistakes | 15:25 |
jrwren | gconfd? | 15:26 |
jrwren | we've had linux xml registry for 15yrs, haven't we? | 15:27 |
cmaloney | Yes, and I'm still a bit salty about that | 15:28 |
cmaloney | I mean, some of the alernatives are "not great" either | 15:30 |
cmaloney | XML is terrible, and json / yaml weren't in vogue when the decision was made. Sailfish / Metacity used Lisp for configuration, which is always great to have a turing complete config. | 15:31 |
greg-g | awww, the rant on systemd overtook jrwren's other link which one of my sub-teams published :) | 15:58 |
greg-g | but: .ini dotfiles for ever :P | 15:59 |
cmaloney | Yeah yeah, javascript simplification. Whee. | 17:05 |
cmaloney | (I'm kidding. That's actually pretty sweet) | 17:06 |
greg-g | :P | 17:51 |
